what if hell is real but it's purely voluntary
@SophiaSurname this is actually what a certain group of Christians believe
@junebug I'm thinking like so voluntary that you can also leave any time and go to heaven and god's like "yeah come on in" regardless of whether you still like sinning or not
@SophiaSurname it's one of the main ways they try to explain '"how do we reconcile the idea of a perfect, all loving god that everyone understands is the best option, and also a hell of eternal suffering" and the answer some people had was "hell is you making your worst decisions for all eternity and getting trapped in them, going deeper and deeper, technically you could leave but you never will becuase that would involve admitting you're wrong and as you go deeper your pride grows too"
@junebug ohhhhhhhhh
@SophiaSurname this is cs lewis's book The Great Divorce, but it's not an uncommon... "vague" thing people will say when they're trying to explain The Problem Of Hell
